Much like the feature photograph, this sports feature image has wonderful lighting. We also like the composition with the tree at the left balancing the image. We would have cropped the second place image a bit differently, taking out some off the right. Having the player with the trophy framed in the arms was great. We had a hard time deciding between celebration photographs but went with the tighter image showing pure joy over winning the state field hockey championship.
